Bob, are/were you using three radios connected to the three different-gain antennas and listening to the radios simultaneously? If so, you have run into "diversity". The changes/differences in signal level in each receiver were not necessarily caused only by the antenna gain. They were caused by the very fact that the antennas are physically in different locations. Laryn K8TVZ
